Review summary

Took this cruise with my friend and our four kids to celebrate 3 of the four kids high school and college graduations. First embarkment was quite easy. Check in was a bit time consuming, but there was six of us. We waited about 30 minutes for our boarding number to be called. Our rooms were ready but luggage did not arrive to our room until 7pm even though we got there at 930am. Room The kids had interior rooms which were the smallest I have ever seen. Fir the price I would have gotten them each a studio room! My friend and I had a balcony. The room was very comfortable and our room steward was great. Plenty of space for 2 people and we used the balcony every day! It was not as tight as some said Restaurants We opted for the UDP and the Dining package. The French bistro was a disappointment, compared to the NCL Epic. We filled out a comment card and from that night on the dining staff made sure we were well taken care of! Use those cards they do make a difference and make your complaints honest! The steakhouse and the Italian restaurant were both very good. The boys in the group opted for the Brazilian Steakhouse, which they loved! Food in the main dining rooms were excellent. I though the wine choices on the UDP were adequate. Pool area. This is the reason for the 3 stars the pool area was one big spring break with people hogging chairs and falling over drunk. There was no control on how much people were drinking. Twice they closed hot tubs because people got sick. I am all for fun but when you let people get out of control drunk it ruins it for people around them. Large screen TV At Spice was hard to see poor quality. Made it difficult to watch game( which bartenders can’t control TV) The spice area was nice but again saved seats and the bar was always packed and you can never get into the hot tubs. The grotto was great to cool off in Entertainment Brat pack show was awful! I’m a child of the 80’s and it almost ruined all John Hughes films for me 😏 Dueling pianos and comedy shows were great! I would go on Escape again, if I get the Haven so I don’t have to deal with the pool crowds
